Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
If scrolling a document and using the autosave feature, the document will roll back to the cursor position in the document instead of staying where you currently are on the screen.
I am scrolling my document but may have edited or place my cursor somewhere else in the document. Autosave saves the document and immediately scrolls back to the cursor.
This bug is rather annoying if you are editing a multipage document and scrolled several 10's of pages forward only to have the application place you back to my cursor which may possibly be on page 1. I have on many occasions lost my place only to find it again and have autosave throw me back to the cursor.
Workaround is to turn off autosave, but that runs a risk of losing possibly many hours of work if the application crashes or other reasons like a power failure.

I can't reproduce this on current up to date Ubuntu 8.04.1. I created a file and put the cursor in some position of the file, set the autosave to 1 minute and scrolled to some other location in the file. When the file saved it didn't change where it was displaying in the file.
